The property market in Christchurch is unique. While buyers and sellers in other parts of the country are grappling with title, LIM and finance clauses, if you’re transacting real estate in Canterbury at the moment you will also need to get your head around insurance provisions, EQC assignment, structural and geotechnical reports, colour classifications for land damage, and now technical sub-categories for foundation specifications.

A thorough working knowledge of the implications of what this all means is imperative when drafting sale and purchase agreements that offer protection for both parties, and accurately reflect what needs to happen for deals to confirm and ultimately settle. Getting it wrong can be a costly exercise. Everybody’s situation is different depending on the condition of their land, their dwelling, which company they are insured with, whether they have a preference to build or buy an existing home, and how accurately their rating valuation reflects market value if their land was damaged beyond repair. With the myriad of different factors in the marketplace it is certainly not a case of one box fits all. With more than 15 years of industry experience and a thorough knowledge of consumer, contract, agency and property law Andrew has the ability to write agreements that give you reassurance, protection and are enforceable.
